Quoted from benheck:I agree, just start over.
The only value in the IP is the artwork. Zombie Yeti is the star of this show. Imagine what he could accomplish if his work didn't have to be squeezed through the cheese grater of John's mind?
Save your 9k and buy a game from whatever company hires Yeti to make something just as pretty, but much cheaper, than Zidware crap.
Or another thought. Yeti designed art for some very cool games. A potential way of generating cash could be for Pintasia to take the Pinball game designs and art and make some Virtual Pinball Games out of them. Not everyone like games like The Pinball Arcade (TPA) or Zen PinBall, but they might be willing to create some unique Tables for sale with Yeti's art. A way to generate some money to repay folks who preordered. A couple bucks per table x thousands of people could add up. Maybe not a full repayment but something. Again, just a quick idea. So sorry for all those involved. I had contacted John before Expo on Raza ... I guess I was lucky to not pull a trigger.
